Holiday Light Shows

There is something about the twinkling of colorful lights that marks the arrival of the holiday season.

Millions of lights guide you along the roads. Looking for holiday events to get into the spirit of the season? The route is packed full of parades, grand illuminations, festivals, and much more.

Brighten your holidays in Virginia with a tour of the miles of lights.
